On the stage of Yerevan Theatre half naked actors are performing a play from a time when convention did not allow women to show even the ankle.

They are presenting a new interpretation of one of the classics of Russian literature, Alexander Griboyedov's Misfortune from Intelligence. The play has a special connection to Armenia because the author saw it staged for the first and last time in Yerevan in 1827, when it was acted by officers of the Russian garrison.

A new Armenian church will soon open in Moscow. During his visit to Moscow Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II expressed his approval of the course of constructions.This is how Surb Khach (Saint Cross) church will look when completed.
